I made them!!! Well sort of, it's stuff called flexi flare, usually used on the fenders/guards of 4wd's/SUV's. It is held up by a piece of flat aluminium bar and lots of screws.

camocarl- muffler is a Rotaflo with 4" dump tip.

They are Simmons FR18"s. I think they are 18x7", they have 215 treads all round.

The car handles nicely with the back lower than the front My front used to be a bit lower before I got new shocks, I still get the occasional gentle rub on the front even with guards rolled. The wheels are probably slightly wrong offset (off of an Rx3) on the front and my track was also pushed out a few mm's whed I got the FD brake conversion done. The wheels are Performance Chellenger 15x7'' They are available in Aus for under $200AU per rim and are reasonably light - most of the circuit racers that have FB's/SA's use the same rims over here.

very nice car 13BEEF. Yeah I read the Whiteline article about how the car does handle better with the front higher than the rear because the front suspension has limited travel and lowering it too much will cause unpredictable handle characteristics.
